Extractions: Our current enrollment is over 600, with all of the preschool and elementary grades having multiple classes. Students are grouped chronologically by age and stay together as a class throughout the school day. The only exception to this is math in grades 4-8 where the material is taught by levels in order to accommodate students who are ready for high school level course work. Beginning in kindergarten, the students have different teachers for each subject and change classes as a group. We find that both the students and the teachers benefit from this schedule. Teachers are able to teach exclusively in their area of expertise and convey a love of their subject to the students. The students enjoy moving around throughout the day, and both students and teachers are able to re-energize between classes. Our faculty is diverse and brings to their classrooms extensive experience in their field of study and education. Nysmith currently has a staff of 112 full and part time educators; all master teachers hold a minimum of a bachelors degree, with many holding postgraduate degrees. Core curriculum subjects in grades 4-8 are taught by high school and college level professors. We strive to recruit the best teachers in the area who exude a love of teaching and children. Our educators believe that it is important to challenge children to use their creativity in order to look at the world in unique ways.

"Been driving all morning," she said and nodded. The cheapskate in me started calculating: 1,500 folks at, say, $200 per day and up, spending most or all of the day at this. And that's not even counting their mileage, or Riley's costs. Riley's visit tickled North Carolina's school leaders, from Gov. Jim Hunt to Southern's principal Henry Pankey, known for his bullhorn blasts at unbecoming conduct in the hallways. Two years ago, Southern's results on end-of-grade tests were dreadful. When Pankey arrived last year test results improved and Southern became, in the state's terminology, an "exemplary school." Test results are up a bit statewide, too, which means Hunt is an exemplary governor, at least according to fellow Democrat Riley. So it was quite a festive atmospherea feather in the cap, as it werebut for the presence of Vernon Robinson and his tiny band of protesters out on the sidewalk.

Latchkey Children And School-Age Child Care. ERIC Digest. A 1985 study at the University of north carolina found latchkey experience did not but ADESTE, a SACC program which began at two parochial schools in West Los http://www.ericdigests.org/pre-9210/latchkey.htm
Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education Urbana IL. Latchkey Children and School-Age Child Care. ERIC Digest. Concern about latchkey children has given rise to a wide array of child care programs. These programs are operated by public and private schools, child care agencies, YMCAs and YWCAs, and many other organizations. This digest offers an overview of these school-age child care (SACC) programs and the reasons for their growth. CHILDREN AT HOME ALONE A Louis Harris poll of American public school teachers conducted in the fall of 1987 found that 51% ranked "children being left on their own after school" as a significant factor affecting children's performance in school. This factor was cited more often than drugs, poverty, divorce, or any other by the teachers sampled. Parents were surveyed at the same time, and 59% agreed that "we leave our children alone too much after school hours." Subsequently, the National Association for Elementary School Principals (NAESP) queried its own members, and found that 37% of the sample believed that "children would perform better in school" if they weren't left unsupervised so long outside of school hours. These surveys reflect an emerging consensus which has been in the making over the past decade. Educators are only the latest, and perhaps the most influential, in a parade of civic and professional groups which have gone on record as opposing the growing phenomenon of latchkey children, and supporting the expansion of child care for school-age children. Even the nation's largest employer, the U.S. Army, has decreed that no child under age 12 should be left without supervision after school, and has plans to bring SACC to every Army post.

Extractions: Charlotte Observer I once had a boss whose unorthodox approach to problem solving often yielded surprisingly effective results. His technique involved connecting two apparently unrelated problems, out of which would come a solution that fit both. Employee morale suffering a bit? Engineering department complaining about high utility costs? Put them together and out pops the idea of a casual dress code that allows the air conditioning to be turned up a bit in the summer. It is time for the N.C. General Assembly to apply this approach to two apparently unrelated issues: a state lottery and education vouchers. The lottery is one of North Carolina's most long-lived issues. It was kicking around the halls of the Legislative Building when I covered Raleigh for The Charlotte Observer in the 1980s. It comes up every session, soaks up a bunch of time and leaves hard feelings. Education vouchers, I predict, will become just as long-lived and contentious. Like the lottery, discussions of vouchers quickly move out of the practical aspects of money and into the philosophical aspects of the role of government.

Extractions: GASTONIA The Rev. Chris Christopher has been a pastor for 10 years, but says the past 10 weeks as director of Hope Lutheran School has been "the absolute best" of his ministry. After several years of planning, fund-raising and construction, Hope Lutheran welcomed its first students this fall. The parochial school on a 5-acre campus on Robinwood Road, home to 50 students, is the first Lutheran school in Gaston County. "It's a real joy to see the change in the children already, to see them help each other and to see them really use the freedom we give them to pursue the activities they enjoy," he said. Planning for Hope Lutheran, a private, nonprofit school, began in February 2000. Ten Lutheran churches in Gaston and Lincoln counties and Kings Mountain financially support the school, which built a $3.5 million, 52,000-square-foot building on land donated by Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in Gastonia.

Extractions: Leadership 2004 North Carolina Parent-Teacher Bulletin - October/November 2000 What You Need to Know about Vouchers Vouchers are certificates given to individuals that, when redeemed, transfer public tax dollars from local, state and federal governments to private schools. Vouchers will cover only a portion of tuition costs and fees at private or parochial schools. Parents are expected to pay the remaining cost of tuition. The North Carolina PTA opposes education voucher proposals for public and nonpublic preschool, elementary and secondary school students. The North Carolina PTA believes that these funding methods would have a detrimental effect on the public schools in our state. Such funding would promote division without diversity, create division and separation within the community and negate the long struggle to desegregate our schools and our society. It is the opinion of the North Carolina PTA that vouchers and similar systems would violate the constitutionally mandated separation of church and state. The North Carolina PTA recognizes that changes must be made within the public schools to provide an equitable and excellent educational opportunity for every child. Vouchers, tax credits, deductions and other such funding sources do not provide the means for bringing about improvements in our public schools.

Because he has spent much of his time at predominately African-American institutions, he provides an invaluable perspective as Southwestern looks to achieve greater diversity among its faculty, students and staff. "I thought this would be a wonderful opportunity," says Swain of his one-year appointment. "There is a genuine interest here in creating a more diverse campus. There has been discussion in the past, but perhaps this is the first time someone has been assigned the charge of creating a long term plan." Swain says he will work on a diversity plan to be included as part of the University's 2010 Strategic Plan. He has spent his first few weeks on campus engaging faculty, staff and students to gather their ideas about the subject. "My approach is to first find out what Southwestern is interested in doing and assess what currently exists. Under the direction of President Schrum, I will work in cooperation with the Diversity Enrichment Committee and the Senior Staff to set specific goals and identify activities and programs that might help us meet those goals."
